For taking Dianne Feinstein seriously on matters of national security.


She is the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

This is no small matter. She was chosen there by her colleagues, other senators, and it is a very serious position. This is probably the most serious committee in all of Senate.


As serious as climate science denier Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) being appointed chairman of the subcommittee responsible for climate change issues?

"I’m not as convinced as a lot of people are that man-made climate change is the threat they think it is. I think it is probably not as immediate as some people do. [...] What is the real threat? What are the economic impacts of those threats? And what are the economic impacts of those remedies? Some of the remedies are more expensive to our economy than the threat may turn out to be." -Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT), climate science denier
